Gennaro again showing off his copper pans! OH MY MY!

Genaro you are a gift from God...patience, sincere, & the ability to teach anyone. The simple but flavorful food of Italy & most importantly your childhood. Thank-you!

We love you Gennaro! Antonio is so proud.

We missed you a lot!!! Please, if you can, more videos next year.

I've just bought some aubergines and I didn't know what to do with it. Thanks you dear Gennaro. Please do more videos, we miss you ❤️

Thanks for the video Gennaro! We love and miss you! Blessings from Germany!

Please Gennaro post more often you make us so happy! And our tastebuds even happier!

I made this recipe 3 weeks ago. I just eated it. It is wonderful. I'm so proud of me!

Merry Christmas to you Gennaro bless you for showing amazing food!

Grande Gennaro! Your recipes remind me of my grandmother's and my father's way of cooking great Italian dishes! Tanti saluti dalla Germania 🙌

Ciao Gennaro! I just love you and your enthusiasm, your respect and joy for good food and your appreciation for your heritage. Ordered your Two Greedy Italians cookbook and anxiously awaiting its arrival. Please continue to share your videos with us and Buon Natale to you and your family. 🎄🍷❤️

Please make more videos on preserving vegetables and fruit!

Gennaro you show how simple it is to give some extra care about these products to enjoy for the whole year. Bless you and you family and merry christmas days

That's why I love Gennaro so much . My nona used to make it , but she passed away and I never new the recipe . Now I do because of Gennaro . God bless you sir ! That recipe made me cry of joy . Will be making it soon !

Yayyyy, Gennaro is back !!! 🇺🇸🎄🤘🏻 (The perfect Brit/ Italian accent) 🇮🇹🇬🇧

So much love from and for Gennaro! Love him a ton!

Oh My! My! My! My!!

The wine you drink it, is the wine you use it

This reminds me of the melanzane my nonna would make. Except, she would slice it in thin wide strips and shallow fry them for a tiny bit and then lay them in a tray to pickle. So good, so nostalgic and the way Gennaro talks to himself reminds me of my the way my nonna would cook so much, especially the "oh come on!". Great video!

My mouth is absolutely watering!

Hon. Gennaro Contaldo with the subtle skills flex in this video. Much appreciated. My wife and I just started using egg plant thanks to an up tick in genuine Italian recipe that require it. Did not know how important egg plant was to the Italian diet.

So much joy. Can’t wait to try this.

I've made this twice now, thank you Gennaro!! I had no idea this is how you made these eggplants, love it!

"It's just a joy to do it." I agree.

simply love this .

*Thank you Gennaro! Pickled aubergine is my new favorite thing.*

Just finished my first eggplant press, one plant, an over abundance and I can’t wait. Thank you Sir

I am sincerely grateful to you for your culinary science, for your passion and holy and good heart. Every son on earth dreams of such a father. I wish you good health and God's blessing. I sincerely respect and love you .

Funny timing, I just pickled for the first time last night. I made spicy eggs and onions. I love the videos, thanks Gennaro. 👍

I love watching you Gennaro, WHY YOU COOKING SO GOOD!!!!!!!😊❤🤍💚

My mother and I recently fell in love with aubergines, and she really likes the Italian style pickles!!! I will definitely try this with her!!! Thank you and stay safe!!!

I LOVE PICKLED AUBERGINES. I HAVE LOOKED FOR THEM IN THE SHOPS HERE BUT NOT THE ITALIAN TYPE.... SO I DECIDED TO MAKE MY OWN NOW. THANKS GENNARO! MY UNCLES NAME ALSO GENNAAAROOOO! :-)

1 eggplant - peeled. cut in slices ~1 cm , make matches coarse salt (Maldon) spread and mix the salt with the egg plant cover + weight on top let rest a couple of hours press/strain the eggplants and put them in a tray good wine vinegar 100ml mix and press garlic in large pieces Fresh or dry chili. fresh to eat straightaway oregano mix olive oil - not extra virgin (too strong vs aubergine) - cup op olive oil approx. put it in a jar complete the jar so that the aubergine doesn’t get in touch with air Three days of rest before eating Not clear how to store during the different steps

Amazing recipe, thanks 🤗

I made this a couple of years ago..... memories of my childhood! :)

Annddrreeeeeaaaa 😂 . I love Gennaro

My nonna makes this and I love it

So nice to see my dear digital italian uncle again! =D

I ADORE READING

Hey Gennaro! That looked delicious! That would work for the holidays. Just came back from the Italian market. Line was around the building. I’ll have to try going there again later. This Christmas Stuffed Shells are on the menu. I did the Feast of Seven Fishes (Cioppino style) for Thanksgiving, so we agreed on shells for Christmas. TFS, Gennaro! Have a great Christmas!

I love all kinds of pickled vegetables. Eeen some weird ones no one else likes such as pickled okra. I cannot comprehend why people like pickled eggplant though.

Amazing receipe i like it thank you 👍

Thanks Gennaro. I never thought of pickling aubergines! Always considered hard vegetables like carrots and cucumbers etc.

Oh Gennaro - now i cańt sleep before i go to the kitchen to do this wonderful recipe....... oh shit - i dońt have an aubergine in my fridge .......

mr. Gennaro is the grandpa i never had and the best chef in the world.

love you Gennaro, my boss calls me a salted cod

Gennaro the best 👌🏼

Nice to see you Gennaro

Why am I cooking so good

hope all is well gennaro contaldo , much love

Merry Christmas 💝!

We love you chef

Incredible simple. Bravissimo, maestro

I waited your video!

Just did it . For 6 pounds of aubergines you got 3 pounds of dry matter so half was water . I also put some pine nuts with the spices ....total cost is now somewhere in the stratosphere but when you love you do not count ! Looking forward to see the result in a month time .

I like eggplant parmesan. That's all. Legit trying this whole shebang right now. Let's go.

More Videos Gennaro...more :-)...it's a cure to everyones souls

Welcome back SIR

Long time no see. All the best in New Year.

Che grande tu sei !!! Buon natale 🎄

Missed you Gennaro
